baenv module

Manage ballistica execution environment.

This module is used to set up and/or check the global Python environment before running a ballistica app. This includes things such as paths, logging, and app-dirs. Because these things are global in nature, this should be done before any ballistica modules are imported.

This module can also be exec’ed directly to set up a default environment and then run the app.

Ballistica can be used without explicitly configuring the environment in order to integrate it in arbitrary Python environments, but this may cause some features to be disabled or behave differently than expected.

class baenv.EnvConfig(config_dir: str, data_dir: str, app_python_dir: str | None, standard_app_python_dir: str, site_python_dir: str | None, user_python_dir: str | None, is_user_app_python_dir: bool, log_handler: LogHandler | None, initial_app_config: Any, launch_time: float)

Bases: object

Final config values we provide to the engine.

app_python_dir: str | None

config_dir: str

data_dir: str

initial_app_config: Any

is_user_app_python_dir: bool

launch_time: float

log_handler: LogHandler | None

site_python_dir: str | None

standard_app_python_dir: str

user_python_dir: str | None

baenv.config_exists() → bool

Has a config been created?

baenv.configure(*, config_dir: str | None = None, data_dir: str | None = None, user_python_dir: str | None = None, app_python_dir: str | None = None, site_python_dir: str | None = None, contains_python_dist: bool = False, setup_logging: bool = True) → None

Set up the environment for running a Ballistica app.

This includes things such as Python path wrangling and app directory creation. This must be called before any actual Ballistica modules are imported; the environment is locked in as soon as that happens.

baenv.did_paths_set_fail() → bool

Did we try to set paths and fail?

baenv.extract_arg(args: list[str], names: list[str], is_dir: bool) → str | None

Given a list of args and an arg name, returns a value.

The arg flag and value are removed from the arg list. We also check to make sure the path exists.

raises CleanErrors on any problems.

baenv.get_config() → EnvConfig

Return the active config, creating a default if none exists.
